The Little Mermaid review

Since I reviewed The Little Mermaid Live for this blog, it only made sense for me to review The Little Mermaid’s original version as well. I don’t know yet if I will be able to review The Little Mermaid 2 or The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Beginning. I can only hope to have them covered in future posts. I just don’t yet know where I could see them easily without shelling out money for Disney+. But it shouldn’t matter too much what goes on. All that I know for sure is that you can enjoy this review now.

We begin with a ship with workers singing on their way from somewhere to somewhere else. There is a man there who is sick. People talk about King Triton to Prince Eric and the others on the ship. They are certain that he is real. We follow a fish that escaped from the ship back to the ocean. It turns out that there are a bunch of merpeople and they are gathering at an underwater theater. Sebastian is asked if the performance will go well. He is sure of this, even as the youngest, Ariel, doesn’t show up to any of the practices. The six daughters sing about how they are the daughters of Triton. As Ariel is supposed to show up, they find her shell empty.

Ariel is meanwhile busy with her friend Flounder and is at a shipwreck. I think that Tarzan’s parents were on this ship after leaving Arendall with Elsa and Anna left behind. While Flounder is told to look out for sharks, he goes inside and they miss one swimming by. Ariel sees things in the wreckage that she puts in a bag and makes sure she has when she leaves after a shark tries to attack them. He gets stuck in part of a ring of sorts as Flounder and Ariel escape to the surface.

At the service, they see a seagull named Scuttle. He mistakes a fork for a comb or brush, calling it a dinglehopper. When given a pipe, he says that it is a snarfblast that is used to make music. The mention of music makes her remember the concert that she was supposed to be at. As she leaves, she is spied on by two fish said to be Flotsom and Jetsom by a sea witch who wants to take down King Triton.

While talking to her father and Sebastian, she tries to explain what happened. Flounder talks and slips that they had gone to the surface. Despite being sixteen, she says that she is not a child anymore. Do they reach legal age sooner down there? Her father angrily yells at her not to go to the surface again. He tells Sebastian to keep an eye on her. As he follows her, he sees her in a cavern where she has tons of treasures from the human world gather. She sings about wanting to be part of the human world, despite not knowing that much about it, such as referring to the objects as thingamabobs or other nondescript labels for various objects.

Sebastian reveals himself and tries to explain that she would be in trouble if her father knew about this. She gets distracted when a ship passes overhead and looks at the people inside, such as a dog named Max. This is where she sees Prince Eric for the first time. Scuttle is there and talks to her. On the ship, a man there reveals a statue of the prince. He reveals that he declined being with a princess. There is then a sudden storm that comes upon the ship.

Lightning strikes the boat causing fire to go everywhere. Many of the men on the ship abandon it right away. Eric goes back to save the dog and somehow runs through the fire without getting burned. The ship explodes, but Ariel takes him to safety. He sings to her leaving him with her beautiful voice in her head. He is able to make it to safety with some not believing that anyone was there with him. She is clearly in love with this prince. The sea witch notices this and we see that there are many people that she calls part of her collection that are gathered in strange forms down there with her.

Ariel’s sisters notice that she’s in love and they tell their father about it. Ariel dreams of live above the surface, but Sebastian sings to her about live in the ocean and how she should stay there with all of the life that is there under the sea with him. She leaves during the song. Sebastian is then called into where King Triton is at. Sebastian is nervous about the meeting. Triton says that Ariel is in love. Sebastian slips that she’s in love with a human and not a merman.

While at what might be treasure cove, she sees the statue of Eric from earlier. This is where Triton shows up and yells at her. He is mad that she saved a man’s life since there is supposed to be no contact between the human world and theirs. In his anger, he destroys her mementos of the human world. She had confessed his love of Eric to her father. Crying, which may not be possible underwater, Flotsom and Jetsom appear and tell her about Ursula, the sea witch. She refused the offer at first and they start to swim away. But she then leaves with them to see Ursula. Sebastian and Flounder follow her to where Ursula is where she considers this offer.

Ursula explains that she can make Ariel a human. I think that Ariel gets screwed by getting exactly what she wants. Ursula talks about the Poor Unfortunate Souls that she wants to help give better lives to. She then explains that Eric has to give Ariel a kiss of true love within three days. If Ariel can do this, she gets to be a human. If not, she turns back into a mermaid and belongs to Ursula. Ursula wants Ariel’s voice in exchange for this deal. Ariel signs the contract and is turned into a human. Ariel quickly makes it to the surface when she gets legs (and a vagina).

Eric is still obsessed with this woman (namely Ariel) and wonders where she is. Back on the beach, we see people gathered where Ariel is and talk about her new situation. They want to help her out since even Sebastian realizes that she would be completely miserable if she returned to the merworld. Eric and his dog find Ariel. He thinks that he found the woman, but isn’t sure since she can’t speak.

She is taken to the palace where people talk about her. Sebastian is there, shocked at all the seafood. At dinner, Ariel acts odd, not sure of many of the human customs. She uses the fork in her hair and blows through another man’s pipe that she borrows hoping to make music. This causes Eric to laugh which a servant there points out he hasn’t done in months. Sebastian, meanwhile, has to avoid becoming food when a chef there is making meals. He lives through it, but still winds up on a plate for dinner. This man is not quick enough eating it and the food wonders right off his plate. During the dinner conversation, he convinces Eric to take Ariel on a tour of the kingdom the next day.

Triton misses his daughter as there is no word on what happened to her or Sebastian. After a day out in the kingdom, Ariel enjoys some of what the humans act like, getting used to some of their customs. There is still no kissing by the end of the day. At night, she is taken on a boat ride. Her friends want to help her, but Scuttle doesn’t sing well. Sebastian, however, knows how to sing so he gets a lot of the other creatures there to sing how he should Kiss the Girl. They almost do, but Flotsom and Jetsom intervene and prevent the kiss from happening.

Concerned that things might be going to quickly, Ursula works up a spell to interject herself into more of the mist of what is going on. She uses Ariel’s voice to go after Eric himself. He’s still concerned about this mystery girl and might go after Ariel instead. As this new woman, Ursula has convinced Eric that she is the mystery girl and they plan to get married at sunset on a boat. Ariel is heartbroken over this. As the ship departs, Scuttle listens to Ursula sing and realizes that she’s in disguise. He tells the others about this as they chase after her and he brings in reinforcements of other animals.

While the vows are supposed to be going on, various animals attack Vanessa (the disguise that Ursula was in) and in this scuffle, a shell that she was using breaks which breaks her control of Eric and Ariel’s voice is returned to her. But the sun sets after Eric realizes that Ariel was always the right woman for him. Ariel is sent back to the sea as a mermaid when her father shows up to intervene. He can’t change the contract at first until Ursula convinces him to take his daughter’s place on it. Ursula gains control of the sea and uses its powers to attack Eric and Ariel. But Eric uses a boat to ram into Ursula which seems to kill her and it brings back the original form of all of Ursula’s victims.

Triton realizes that he has to let Ariel go so he turns her back into a human. She and Eric get married and both humans and merpeople gather for this event. She says that she loves her father as they all sail off into the clearly lit day and not stereotypical sunset.

It is easy to like this movie, even as a guy, even though there are flaws with it. It does seem like the two leads get together far too soon with no regard of how slowly things like this should move in the end. We don’t know why Ariel is so interested in the human world or why Triton forbids it the way it does. There was even a bit that College Humor did that pointed out that she should have dated merman and only after terrible dates with them would she go after humans. Still, the songs are all great and it is nice to see such a classic continue to last.

That’s all I can think of for putting in here regarding this post. I hoped that you liked the review of it and learned a lot from it as well. I also hope that it was different enough from the review that I did on the live-ish version of it. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Cast Update 9-4-2020

If it wasn’t clear already, there will be no Good Fight airing this season during the summer on CBS like they did last season. We’ll see if they air it in the future or not. Knowing some of the plot of what aired then in the second season, I wouldn’t know if they can air it then before this election. It is also worth noting that if that show airs on TV again and I’m able to blog about it, it would be the new primary blog in place of Survivor unless or until that show came back again. I hope that I can just get what’s out on DVD and fit it in that way somehow. Also note that with the shows that I watch on DVD, there are now two secret choices. One is Back to the Future: the Animated Series that I put on the list first. The other choice that it is alternating with right now is The Big Bang Theory season 6.

Spin-off information- My review of the spin-off will follow later in this post. It will probably stay for as long as the show is still on. If the show leaves the air, then I’ll probably cut it. I did create a blog for it. I guess that I will just have to keep you updated on when it might be released in the future.

Link to blog about it: https://adamdeckerthegoodfighttvshow.blogspot.com/

Julianna Margulies: She is doing a show now called Unladylike. I don’t know much about it right now, but will have to get into it in the next paragraph. I don’t see what else she is doing right now at the moment.

Unladylike: This is set to air in 2020. There is no trailer for it. It could be out right now, but I can’t tell about that. I don’t even have a plot for it. I hope to have more info about it in future posts, but don’t have it mentioned now.

Josh Charles: I hope that I see more from him in the future or this will be a fairly short segment that you will always see. It is hard to tell for sure what goes on with some of the projects of his or other people’s in this blog to be honest. He’s in something called Away.

Away: This has a release date of September 4, 2020. This will be on Netflix. All I know is that it’s about an astronaut missing her family while on a dangerous mission. Josh is just one of the two people cast for this right now. This might be out now, but don’t know for sure yet if it is. It has a trailer now that I will talk about.

Trailer link: https://www.imdb.com/video/vi2013445657?playlistId=tt8787802&ref_=tt_ov_vi

Thoughts on trailer: Since this is just a teaser trailer, I can’t gather much from it yet as a result. It looks like it could be interesting, but I’d have to know more about it to know for sure. Maybe I’ll watch it sometime or maybe not.

Graham Phillips: We’ll see if we see more of him there in the future or not. Hopefully, he will be doing more than just that in the future. I guess I’ll have to see what could happen with his career in the future… Maybe a lot of things just hasn’t happened with him yet.

Archie Panjabi: This actress did a lot after leaving the show. She is doing Departure, mentioned more in the next part of this blog as usual. She also appears to be in something called Fairytale. She had a minor role in the British sitcom Still Open All Hours.

Departure: This has been released. It is a Canadian show about the search for victims of a possible plane crash. It will air on the Global network that I don’t think that I’ll be able to see any time soon. But I’ll keep track of this as much as I’m able to. This will be on the Peacock streaming service for those in America on September 17, 2020.

Fairytale: This has no release date or trailer at this time. It is about a romantic story that is based off of real people in some way. I have no idea yet what the title has to do with the story, but will wait and see what movie might be like.

Christine Baranski: After rejecting various pilots and other projects in the hopes of getting a spin-off from the Good Wife, she got what was wanted and will be on a Good Wife spin-off. It will only be available on CBS All Access (and hopefully DVDs in the future). The spin-off is called The Good Fight. She’ll also be in a movie called Bad Moms’ Moms. We’ll see what becomes of that. She’ll also be in something called Christmas on the Square that is a movie. Another thing she will be in is The Gilded Age. That might be it for now.

The Good Fight: It will be put on www.cbs.com and be available to watch on CBS all access to those that want it. It is available now. Expect to see the same review over and over again for whichever people work on this from The Good Wife.

Review: Status- It is available online at CBS all access and in other formats. Why I’ve seen it- If there is something in this blog that I can review, I will. Description- Diane continues her adventures starting from scratch after losing her retirement money and starting at a new firm. Pros- The show is about the same level of quality that you would expect from The Good Wife. Cons- Apparently, there is going to be a lot of nudity in it. Like the original, this show is a bit too confusing. Note to Parents- Your kids would have to pay to watch this online so if they are seeing it, then you hopefully were the ones who let that happen, although I’d lean towards not letting really young people watch this. Recommendation- Since this is only available online for money, I would actually steer clear of this unless you really like the show. I like it, but not enough to shell out too much money for it. Prediction- This could last a while if people keep using the subscription service to watch it. It will be hard to tell for sure as it goes along. Reception: critically acclaimed. Grade: B.

Bad Moms’ Moms: This has no trailer and no release date just yet. It doesn’t have a plot yet outside of being the third installment of the Bad Moms franchise. I imagine this would likely relate to the end of Bad Moms Christmas. Still, I hope that they come up with a better title for it. Is there something wrong with “Bad Grandmas” as a title?

Christmas on the Square: This has no trailer yet. It is set to be released in 2020. It is about residents of a small town not wanting to be bought out by a big corporation. I’m not sure what Christmas has to do with it, but I guess we’ll see.

The Gilded Age: This is a TV show with a currently unknown release date. This will air on HBO. You might have remembered me talk about this in my TV show blog where I put it with the cancelled shows since it was never made and never brought to series. Well, just like with Emerald City, this has found new life again and is set to air on HBO.

Matt Czuchry: All of this time that you’ve seen me doing updates for him in this blog, you only saw me mentioning the reboot of Gilmore Girls. Well, I can finally take that off the update list and report on something new he is finally doing. It is a TV show called The Resident.

The Resident: This is a show that is on hiatus. I’m not sure if there’s a better way of putting it than calling it a medical drama, which is what it would be. The main thing that would make it different is it focusing more on medicine than other shows have, according to one description that I read of it. That description may be wrong upon seeing the trailer, although I’d have to see the show to know for sure. A review of the show now follows.

The Resident: Status- Currently on hiatus. Why I’ve seen it- I watched this for my Good Wife blog and to fulfill my promise to watch a midseason replacement on FOX this season. Description- This is a medical drama that features different doctors, some new, and there are various problems at the hospital at times. It seems a rather complicated plot that is hard to sum up easily. It should make more sense as it goes along. Notable People- This has Matt Czuchry who used to star in The Good Wife and Gilmore girls. It also has Emily VanCamp who starred on Brothers and Sisters as well as Revenge. Pros- It points out the flaws that can happen in a hospital, but does it in a good way. It can seem more humanizing than most medical dramas that I’ve seen in the past. Cons- It seems similar to House. The lead can be strange and arrogant. Note to Parents- It airs with a content adversary warning in some episodes so that’s all you really need to know about it. Recommendation- I’d say that this is good to stay into if you want to. My Viewing Habits- I plan to watch this until the very end. Whether I’ll be able to see every episode or not remains to be seen. Prediction- It is hard to tell for sure this early, but I think that it might last a bit for now. Reception: mixed. Grade: B.

Makenzie Vega: She has been working since The Good Wife ended. Sadly, she hasn’t been doing that much. I haven’t been able to find something that I could review just yet. I hope that she ends up doing something good soon. Otherwise, I guess this will be one less person to worry about. She will be in something called Exploited. Another is called Growing up Gorman.

Exploited: This movie is set for release in 2020. It is about a new college student who is obsessed with the previous owner of his school issued laptop. I guess that we will see more about this later (I hope) as time goes by.

Growing up Gorman- The name of this movie is based on a character from the movie. It has no release date or trailer just yet. The person in this wants to win a battle of the bands competition. We’ll see if it avoids being cliché or not.

Alan Cumming: Here’s an actor who’s known for starring in Broadway plays and productions. Perhaps you have seen him on the Tony Awards that you always watch because you can’t afford to see Broadway any other way. It looks like he has a lot of future projects in the works. He is in Bright in a Hollow Sky. Yet another thing that he appears to be doing is a TV movie called Going Back. There’s also a new project called Run. He might also be in a show called The Prince. That’s a lot of projects to keep track of. He will also be in Everything I Ever Wanted to Tell My Daughter about Men.

Bright in a Hollow Sky: This is a movie about people trying to find what they have lost by going on a road trip to do so. It doesn’t have a release date or trailer just yet. Hopefully it can do better than other projects where nothing seems to come from it.

Going Back- This does not have a release date or trailer just yet. It focuses on a man who creates a frenzy by pretending to be a teenager. It seems to be set in Scotland, so that might be where it might be released. Hopefully, it will be released here too.

Run: This has no release date, but it does have a trailer. The plot is about a man who seems to have lost something important and will try to live life in a different way from this point forward. I’m guessing that running in some way will factor into the plot. It might be out, but I can’t find much information about it right now. There is also a movie of the same name set to be released soon.

Trailer Link: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8900306/videoplayer/vi3245521689?ref_=tt_ov_vi

Thoughts on trailer: This looks very good and interesting, although I’m not sure that I can make anything out of the plot just yet. I’ll have to see what becomes of it in the future. Whatever it is, I hope to see it and want to watch it, not just out of an obligation to doing this blog in the future.

The Prince: This is an animated show that seeks to look into the life of a prince that might be real as the show is obviously a comedy in the meantime. It has no release date or trailer right now. I’m not yet sure what network this will be on.

Everything I Ever Wanted to Tell My Daughter about Men: This had no release date or trailer at the moment right now. Apparently in this movie, a mother tells her daughter about her sex life in hopes that her daughter will learn from this.

Zach Grenier: Well, he’s finally doing things, such as being in a movie called The Vizitant. He’s also in The White Stuff. He will be a fourth season regular on The Good Fight. We’ll see what else he does over the course of time while still working.

The Vizitant: This is set to be released sometime in 2020. Apparently, this movie is about a defeated politician who is given the power to change the world by a mysterious entity. Perhaps the Monitor is giving him the book of destiny. Whatever will happen, I hope to find out more when there is a trailer for this. I hope for a release date soon as well.

The White Stuff: This is set for release in 2020. In it, a man learns something very weird about himself: he can’t see race. This is a short of some sort. It sounds interesting, but I have no idea if I’ll be able to see any shorts like this one or not.

The Good Fight: It will be put on www.cbs.com and be available to watch on CBS all access to those that want it. It is available now. Expect to see the same review over and over again for whichever people work on this from The Good Wife.

Review: Status- It is available online only at CBS all access. I’ll let you know if it is released on DVD. Why I’ve seen it- If there is something in this blog that I can review, I will. Description- Diane continues her adventures starting from scratch after losing her retirement money and starting at a new firm. Pros- The show is about the same level of quality that you would expect from The Good Wife. Cons- Apparently, there is going to be a lot of nudity in it. Like the original, this show is a bit too confusing. Note to Parents- Your kids would have to pay to watch this online so if they are seeing it, then you hopefully were the ones who let that happen, although I’d lean towards not letting really young people watch this. Recommendation- Since this is only available online for money, I would actually steer clear of this unless you really like the show. I like it, but not enough to shell out too much money for it. Prediction- This could last a while if people keep using the subscription service to watch it. It will be hard to tell for sure as it goes along. Reception: critically acclaimed. Grade: B.

Matthew Goode: He has been doing a lot of projects since leaving The Good Wife. I might as well get to mentioning all of them. A project of his is called A Discovery of Witches, which would be a TV show. Another new thing he appears to be doing is Medieval. Yet another movie he’ll be in is The King’s Man. We’ll see what happens with them. Another new thing he is in is Silent Night.

A Discovery of Witches: This is out now. It will air on the Sky network which I think is British and not American meaning that I doubt that I’d be able to see it. The plot makes it seem like a supernatural show that has witches and vampires who have to work together even though they shouldn’t trust each other. It has a trailer now:

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5qMoVTAwGk

Thoughts on trailer: This seems mysterious and possibly interesting. It does seem to have some of the usual concepts of forbidden love and could wind up focusing too much on sex in some places that it probably shouldn’t. I just wish that it would air in the US. Maybe it will in the summer of 2019 on the CW. Otherwise, you’ll just see it here in these updates for as long as I keep it here.

Medieval: This is a movie with an unknown release date. I don’t know if this is based on a true story or not. But it seems like it is about two people and how they seek to win against an army of people. They probably have people helping them with it.

The King’s Man: This looks like it will be a prequel to the Kingsman series of movies. I’ll probably post review of the other movies in the series at some point. That will at least give me an excuse to watch them again. Its release date has changed to February 26, 2021. There is a trailer for this now that I will talk about. There are newer trailers that I don’t care about right now.

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e82JHkkPw54

Thoughts on trailer: I can’t gather much from a teaser like this, but may keep it in here instead of going with an official trailer later. You see, this looks interesting to me like all the other movies in the franchise have thus far. I look forward to seeing it. I just wish that a bit more could be revealed about it.

Silent Night: This movie pretty much has family coming together for Christmas. I do not know how or if they will put an original spin on this. It is set to be released in 2020 at the time. It does not have a trailer. It might only be a UK movie as it doesn’t mention an American release date.

Cush Jumbo: She will be appearing in a TV show called The Beast Must Die. I can’t tell much about this right now. But I will talk more about this in the next paragraph since that is what I do in this blog now.

The Beast Must Die: This is set to appear at some point in time in 2021. I have no idea what it is about right now, but hopefully will be able be able to see it, but it might not be on American television.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan: He is now in the cast of The Walking Dead. He’ll also be in something called Shrine. Something else he is in is Friday Night in with the Morgans that I don’t know if I’ll be able to see. We’ll see what else he does.

The Walking Dead: This is a popular gory cable zombie drama about humans trying to save themselves from what is known as The Walking Dead, or walkers, zombies who are often the bad guys. But who else are causing problems?

Review: Status- Currently on AMC at times. Why I’ve seen it- I borrowed this on DVD from a friend in order to review it for this blog. Noteworthiness- This is adapted from comic books of the same name. Description- A man wakes up from a coma to find that he now lives in a world with zombies, his old world gone. Notable People- Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who was in The Good Wife, is now on this show. Pros- It has a good premise that works for the most part. Cons- It can be too slow moving and seem longer than it needs to be. Note to Parents- I wouldn’t let your kids watch this. Teens might be safe, but I might steer clear of that too. Recommendation- Maybe this is worth watching if you like this sort of show. I’d put it at a toss-up myself as to whether or not to watch. My Viewing Habits- I plan to watch the whole first season on DVD. Whether or not I’ll see any more after that is unknown. Prediction- I think that it is close to ending sometime in the near future. Reception: largely positive. Grade: B-.

Shrine: This has no release date at the time. It continues the whole small town crime conspiracy that Hollywood is known for doing at times. The protagonist is a journalist and, if I had to guess, the antagonist is everyone else.

Friday Night in with the Morgans: This show is effectively a talk show with Jeffrey and his wife as they talk about life during the pandemic with people stuck at home for now and other things like it. It is out now, but I don’t know where to find it yet.

Robert King: Here is where we switch to writing credits. He and his wife are helping with The Good Fight. He’s also doing a TV show called Evil. We’ll see if that makes it past the pilot phase. He’s working on another TV show called Girls with Guns.

The Good Fight: It will be put on www.cbs.com and be available to watch on CBS all access to those that want it. It is available now. Expect to see the same review over and over again for whichever people work on this from The Good Wife.

Review: Status- It is available online only at CBS all access. I’ll let you know if it is released on DVD. Why I’ve seen it- If there is something in this blog that I can review, I will. Description- Diane continues her adventures starting from scratch after losing her retirement money and starting at a new firm.

Prediction- This could last a while if people keep using the subscription service to watch it. It will be hard to tell for sure as it goes along. Reception: critically acclaimed. Grade: B.

Evil: This looks like it could be interesting. People investigate the supernatural in this show in the typical one woman, two men set up. This is currently on hiatus. Will it have any supernatural elements or will everything be explained? Maybe we’ll find out what will happen.

Evil: Status- Currently on hiatus. Why I’ve seen it- I watched this to review it for a blog. Description- A woman and others have to deal with the idea of what makes one evil and if there are supernatural abilities behind it or not. Notable People- This is created by Robert and Michelle King who also did The Good Wife, The Good Fight, and BrainDead. It stars Michael Emerson from Person of Interest, Lost, and Arrow. Pros- It has a lot to offer in terms of understanding the human mind. Cons- It might be too mysterious at some points in the long term. I just hope they decide whether or not to include supernatural elements for sure at some point. Note to Parents- This is probably not something that you want your kids watching. Recommendation- I’d say that this is pretty good to watch. My Viewing Habits- I plan to see as much of this as I can and have watched since the first episode aired. Prediction- This has been renewed for a second season, but might not have additional episodes this season. We’ll see if it lasts longer than that or not. Reception: positive. Grade: B-.

Girls with Guns: Not much is known about this right now. I don’t even see a plot of this mentioned right now. What I do know is that it might air on CBS all access. It is unknown when this is coming out. I could not find out more information upon further research as I doubt google would be helpful with this.

Michelle King: Since she is married to the previous person, it would appear that she would probably have the same projects in the works as her husband. This section may be redundant since any similar projects that these people have would be the same thing and thus have the same information. She is working on The Good Fight. She’s also doing Evil and Girls with Guns.

The Good Fight: It will be put on www.cbs.com and be available to watch on CBS all access to those that want it. It is available now. Expect to see the same review over and over again for whichever people work on this from The Good Wife.

Review: Status- It is available online only at CBS all access. I’ll let you know if it is released on DVD. Why I’ve seen it- If there is something in this blog that I can review, I will.

Prediction- This could last a while if people keep using the subscription service to watch it. It will be hard to tell for sure as it goes along. Reception: critically acclaimed. Grade: B.

Evil: This looks like it could be interesting. People investigate the supernatural in this show in the typical one woman, two men set up. This is currently on hiatus. We’ll see how long it might last. At least we know season 2 will come sometime.

Evil: Status- Currently on hiatus. Why I’ve seen it- I watched this to review it for a blog. Description- A woman and others have to deal with the idea of what makes one evil and if there are supernatural abilities behind it or not. Notable People- This is created by Robert and Michelle King who also did The Good Wife, The Good Fight, and BrainDead. It stars Michael Emerson from Person of Interest, Lost, and Arrow. Pros- It has a lot to offer in terms of understanding the human mind. Cons- It might be too mysterious at some points in the long term. I just hope they decide whether or not to include supernatural elements for sure at some point. Note to Parents- This is probably not something that you want your kids watching. Recommendation- I’d say that this is pretty good to watch. My Viewing Habits- I plan to see as much of this as I can and have watched since the first episode aired. Prediction- This has been renewed for a second season, but might not have additional episodes this season. We’ll see if it lasts longer than that or not. Reception: positive. Grade: B-.

Girls with Guns: Not much is known about this right now. I don’t even see a plot of this mentioned right now. What I do know is that it might air on CBS all access. It is unknown when this is coming out. This will likely be about girls with guns. But more of a plot beyond that is unknown.

Erica Tazel: This former Good Fight actress has two projects in the works. One is called The Summer People. She’s also going to be in something called Cognitive. I don’t think that there is much else to gather from her career just yet.

The Summer People: This has no release date or trailer right now. It is about people who are forced to work with others to last in some way. I have no idea right now what this might be about and will have to wait until more is known. This will be a TV movie.

Cognitive: This is possibly out already. It will be a short. It does have a trailer that I will talk about. In this story, people are lead to believe that they aren’t growing up at all due to something about the way they were raised or something like that.

Thoughts on trailer: Okay, so this doesn’t reveal anything outside of the plot that we already know based on what imbd says the official plot of this is. What else is there to say about this? I have no idea. We’ll have to wait until it is out to know more.

Poppy Montgomery: After her show was cancelled, she has not yet started doing anything else that I can find right now. I plan to be back later with more information if I get it. I don’t know if she acts less now than she used to. We’ll see what she does.

Jaimie Alexander: This Blindspot actress will now be the first alumni from that show to be covered in this blog. I actually now have another one covered in a different blog. She has no notable projects in the works right now so I’ll wait and see to see what changes.

Former projects: From now on, a list of projects that the cast has done of things that once had them in it but no longer do will be mentioned in this section below. It will largely be used to keep track of TV shows that used to star these people and what became of these shows. It might be used on occasion for other things as well, depending on what I feel would work here. I have more information about the movie Four Kids and It which is worth putting back in this blog.

Four Kids and It: It turns out that this is on DVD and I noticed this when I was at a video store where I sometimes rent movies from. Thus, I am including it here until I get a big review of it in this blog sometime. I hope that can happen fairly soon.
